Notice to All Department of Justice ContractorsPotential Lapse of Funding

09/27/13

Funding for the Department of Justice (Department) under its current appropriations act expires on September 30, 2013. As of this date, no new appropriations act or continuing resolution has been passed. Unless such legislation is enacted before the end of FY2013, there will be no annual appropriations available to fund activities of the Department for Fiscal Year 2014 (FY 2014) on October 1, 2013.

The effect of a lapse of funding on a particular contract, order, and other procurement commitment (hereafter, Contract) is dependent on the source of funding and terms of the particular Contract and the activities the Contract supports. It is therefore not possible to provide comprehensive guidance covering all circumstances and situations.

The purpose of this Notice is to (1) notify Department contractors of the potential lapse of funding; (2) assist contractors in their contingency planning; (3) provide general substantive guidance regarding when performance on a contract continues during a funding lapse; and (4) provide contractors the procedures the Department will follow to notify contractors whether performance will continue should there be a lapse of funding for FY 2014.

General Substantive Guidance

For informational purposes, the Department provides the following general guidance regarding whether contract performance typically continues in the event of a funding lapse.

In general, where a contract is subject to availability of funds, work on the contract may not be performed unless the contract, or some portion of it, involves “excepted” activities, typically those required to prevent imminent harm to persons or property. Otherwise performance typically will not continue, and contractors will be instructed to refrain from any activity that results in the incurrence of obligations on the part of the government.

This general rule is sometimes reflected in the contract in a clause addressing a lapse of funding (which may be referred to in some contracts as “Federal Non-Work Days”), under which contractors are directed to cease work unless specifically directed otherwise in writing by the Contracting Officer.

Even if a contract is not dependent on annual appropriations (such as those funded with “multiple-year” or “no year” money), the activities the contract supports may not be funded, and for this reason the Department may direct that work on the contract cease.

If a contract is one involving delivery dates that are imminent, government personnel responsible for receiving delivery or performing inspections may not be available during the period of the funding gap. Accordingly, even where contract performance has not ceased, contractors may be directed to suspend any attempts to deliver until you are notified otherwise by the contracting officer. The Government will not be liable for any costs you may incur if you attempt delivery during the period of the funding gap.

General Procedures

Contractors whose contracts contain a funding lapse clause (which may be referred to in some contracts as “Federal Non Work Days”) should adhere to that clause, and the contractor should cease all activity that will result in obligation to the government, unless otherwise authorized in writing by the Contracting Officer.

Contractors whose contracts do not contain a funding lapse clause should be prepared to continue performance, unless expressly notified otherwise in writing by the Contracting Officer.

This information as well as DOJ overall guidance will be updated as necessary and as the situation changes.

I realize anything with the "Annunaki" title in it is a bit off putting. However, this vid has now been sent to me by a few different sources, and considering the announcement of Free Energy technology on last night's enjoy show, the message is very relevant. It is a bit long but well worth the watch! ~BK

Chair of St Peter leader talks about Detroit bankruptcy: Robert Marques, leader of the Chair of St. Peter speaks to the media after leaving U.S. District Court in Detroit on Sept. 19, 2013. Kathleen Galligan/Detroit Free Press

Detroit Free Press Business Writer

There was a mixture of retirees, Detroit residents and community activists objecting to the city’s bankruptcy filing Thursday.

Then there was Robert Marques.

In the most unusual argument presented during the U.S. Bankruptcy Court hearing, Marques testified that he was there as a representative of “the Chair of St. Peter” — as in the Vatican.

Marques of Ohio said all of Detroit’s debts were wiped out on June 30 as part of “global debt forgiveness.”

He acknowledged that his legal arguments are unique, but insisted that they are based in fact. He also warned that anyone who doesn’t follow the orders from the Chair of St. Peter could be held accountable for war crimes.

“The City of Detroit, which is a legal fiction, is basically saying there is a bankruptcy,” Marques said shortly after he testified during the bankruptcy hearing. “The problem that most Americans don’t realize is there isn’t a bankruptcy. For one reason: All the world came out of global debt on July 1, 2013, when Iraq sanctions were lifted.”

Marques, dressed in a dark suit and a white tie, was among about 50 people who spoke during the hearing because they filed objections to Detroit’s bankruptcy by Aug. 19. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes held the hearing to give retirees and concerned residents a chance to speak.

The Chair of St. Peter is an actual chair that is housed at the Vatican in Rome and is believed to be a chair that was actually used by Peter, a disciple of Christ.

Marques said, “The Chairman of St. Peter is the Chairman of the Global Estate Trust. He is the Chairman over the Vatican.”

Marques, or his organization, filed a 21-page document with U.S. Bankruptcy Court on Aug. 19 and mailed the same document to a number of local Catholic parishes.

The document arrived in a large envelope with a picture of the city skyline emblazoned on it, said Ned McGrath, director of communications for the Archdiocese of Detroit.

McGrath sent out an advisory to all of the Detroit parishes to alert them to the document.

“To overstate the obvious, I would not encourage any contact with this individual and/or his website,” McGrath said in his advisory to the Catholic parishes.

Marques said he came to Detroit to inform the judge and Detroit residents that the city should not be in bankruptcy.

“We are not here to argue these points. We are here to state them in fact,” Marques said.

In court, Rhodes nearly had Marques removed for reading directly from the document he had filed and for going over the three-minute time limit.

Afterword, flanked by about a dozen followers, Marques declined to say where he lives or how many people belong to his organization.

He also repeated his warning that if the orders of the Chair of St. Peter are ignored, there could be consequences.

“If they do not respect that decision they will not fall under the authority of Roman Curia as public officials as will be held for war crimes and crimes against humanity,” Marques said.

IMAGINE -- The O.P.A.L. Tour -- We Are the Ones We've Been Waiting For....& We're Done Waiting!!
September 24, 2013

How could I possibly describe what it feels like to witness my purpose in this lifetime unfolding before my very eyes? It's like a combination of excitement, anticipation, bliss, and absolute joy, bursting through every pore of my entire existence, all at once and with great vigor. A symphony of synchronicity's, self-constructing through the will set forth by the energy of intention and manifestation. A real life tale of magic & wonder...opportunities not yet fully realized, but stealthily seeping their way into existence at the speed of heart and collective intent...Three years ago, this November, my amazing Reiki Master and dear friend, Pam Maldonado, shared with me my reason for choosing to incarnate in this lifetime. She said, "you came to be a "teacher," (we ALL are in some way) "you will be travelling throughout the country and the world assisting with the shift in consciousness." Although, she said, "there is no reference point for this role, as it does not yet exist." As a new-comer to the path of Truth & Awakening, most of this information at the time was out of my realm of comprehension; shift in consciousness? Dimensional shift? I had no idea what any of this meant. So, to say it launched me onto a fast track journey to understanding, would be a vast understatement. My life has never been the same since. Later I would find out that my Soul was ready for that message. It has guided my every move since and continues to do so to this day. Here I am now almost three years later, a conscious witness to these grandiose predictions coming into existence through the manifestation of the One People Absent Limits Tour. Everyday it seems another connection, development, idea, or opportunity comes to the table, as if gift wrapped and hand delivered from the Universe with a big red bow. Message after message, loud and clear from the cosmos, screaming YES! YES YES! DO! DO! DO!....this adventure is loved and supported in every way! I learned some time ago, when destiny knocks on the door, you open it...and boy oh boy have we ever!

I said it on the radio show Bob and I were on yesterday ("Dissolving the Illusion of Money and Control," which I'll post later today) that I'm done waiting for something, anything, outside of myself to swoop in and save the day; not some new governance, currency revaluation, new monetary system, Asian gold, The Event, Heather, DOV docs, UCC filings, or any combination thereof. The power has always been in "we the people" to make a lasting difference. What happens when millions of like minds and open hearts unite to create real change? Only imagination has the answer to that question. We can DO ANYTHING we imagine. Here's what it takes: unity, will, intent, commitment, tolerance, love, forgiveness, understanding, harmony, teamwork, ______ fill in the blank with whatever popular buzzword you like. Those are the ingredients....how we bake the cake is and has always been up to us. The reality is the ingredients have ALWAYS been there, we've just been led to believe the power structures and systems of control have access to the only oven. This illusion has now been dispelled. WE have the power. All we have to do now, is fill in as many others across the nation of this Truth...can you see it? Can you feel it? It's there...close your eyes and imagine...

There are so many amazing individuals, groups, movements, teams, etc. out there DOing great things to change this world. Unity is the glue that holds the key to bringing them all together. The OPAL Tour has the power to do just that. This is what we can DO. This is what we WILL DO. We are already DOing it. It has already been done. The intention has been set. It is Universal Law that manifestation will surely follow. It's time to change the world folks! Gandhi said, "BE the change you want to see in the world." This message has never been more important than it is NOW.

We need your help! This is a clarion call for all to gather! Please join us on this adventure in whatever way works for you. Be part of the caravan that travels across this beautiful country. Come and participate at one of the many gatherings we will be organizing along the energetic trail. Link us up to contacts, groups, individuals who are doing awesome things to make a difference. We encourage participation of EVERY kind. The more of The One People who get involved the bigger of a success this paradigm changing campaign will become! If you are in a position to sponsor the tour by way of financial energetic contribution, we need all of the support we can get. We've already chipped in and manifested our first of three RV's and our 12 Soul crew will be investing every bit of energy along the way we can all collectively muster to make it happen! Please help us to make this dream, OUR collective destiny, a reality! Every little bit helps <3

Then....close your eyes and IMAGINE. Imagine a world without limits. Imagine a global society of ONE, DOing what we Love instead of what we feel we "have" to DO to make ends meet. Free of war. Free of hate. Free of judgment, hunger, oppression, control and manipulation. Where all of God's children have food, clothes, shelter, unencumbered and unrestricted access to innovation and creation. Free energy. Absolute Technology. Imagine. No borders. No hoarders. The whole of Humanity loving thy neighbor as thy self. An enlightened planet and people. Imagine. Clean air. Clean water. Healthy food and sustainable living. Now close your eyes and IMAGINE. Absent Limits. Set your intent. See it. Feel it. BE it. Live it. Breathe it. Believe it. Share it with others. Some may laugh at such a Utopian society. To that I say, "NO my friends, THIS is our destiny! John Lennon -- "you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one...I hope someday you will join us, and the world will live as ONE." ~BK

O.P.A.L. TOUR

The inspiration for the O.P.A.L. Tour began with you. We are guided by the many voices and hearts which reach out for community, unity and being together with the knowing that You are NOT alone anymore.

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for…and we’re DONE waiting

Our Mission:
To follow the energetic trail that calls us forth, empowering awakened hearts and minds across the country. To unite our human family by creating a safe, open space for people to connect, commune and share as One People in peace, love, absolute transparency and above all, limitless in our potential.

From conception, through planning and during the tour, to expand and stretch ourselves to BE Absent Limits. In doing so we hope to be an example of what is possible when the ONE People collaborate their DOing in ways that make their hearts sing. This tour is a living example of our collective desire for change in the world, the first of many creative projects by the ONE People. We, which includes all of you, will be looking to expand our DOings together in the NOW, remembering that our goals are Absent Limits!

The 5D Media Crew set the intent to create a space of ‘absent limits’, that means accomplishing in 6 weeks what would have taken 6 months in the old paradigm. We have manifested thus far:

The crew contributed their own resources to secure the first of 3 required Motorhomes

The first O.P.A.L meet up and tour launch has been organised for the weekend of 25-27th October in LA. Details on the Itinerary page.

2 appearances have been secured at the Ascension Rising Conference in Sedona. Brian and Bob will be running a workshop on Saturday. Brian, Lisa and Bob will be speaking in the main room at the conference on Sunday to promote The OPAL Tour and unite with like minds.

Along the road we will:

Network and connect the multitude of individuals and groups around the Country who are currently working in insolation on technologies and concepts to take us into a new paradigm of living.

Interviews with local individuals, projects and organizations who are making a difference

OPAL Tour draws from all sources within creation’s universe to manifest the vision we have. This includes both old representations of value (money) and new or energetic representations. If you feel INclined to contribute please do so with out limitation to include the use of old systems. We who use these systems free them from their limitation for it is we who are truly absent limits!

We all know that “money” is simply a representation of your value – it’s really about energy. Rather than look at this as asking people for “donations” – we feel we are reaching out to people to ask if they’d like to contribute and participate on the journey through their “energetic fuel”. The fuel which is ultimately funding this journey is ALL our energy – our love.

We are One People on the Spiral Journey of Evolution, Remembering and experiencing the power of our Collective Imagination as we Transition into a new paradigm of Abundance and Freedom,In~Joy & Love.

QUALITIES OF THE OPALOpal is a stone of inspiration, imagination, creativity, self worth, confidence, and supports you in reaching your full potential.Energetically, the Opal, supports the process of change and restores harmony, which perfectly encapsulates the O.P.A.L. Tour!

Buckminster Fuller said “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” This tour represents our collective effort to build a new model. One that is in the best of interest of all The People…… no longer the privileged few.

Haven't been able to post much lately because I've been so busy getting ready for the OPAL (One People Absent Limits) Tour....and boy oh boy is it coming together! More on that later. Don't usually post the ZAP Report, as AK has taken the reigns on ZAP's updates, but this is one I felt needed to be shared. Nice work on the comments Bill, super funny! ~BKhttp://americankabuki.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-zap-report-9-21-13.html

Comments in red are mine solely as usual.... -BillGreetings and Salutations,I couldn't have said it better myself so here it is direct from Poof. “As a man deeply involved in all of this is fond of saying, 'it doesn't matter what it is, it takes a week for them to do it'. Massive things have transpired since last sunday, which actually began thurs, a week ago. Constant movement to completion has been taking place. Many are distracted by the media events, which have been like spooks chasing you in your dreams, scaring the crap out of everyone, who lends them an ear. The native american shamans teach one how to deal with the goblins in your dreams, ignore them with your focus forward and they won't activate”.

From ZAP..........Hi All

Very good news on the historic bond redemption front, as funds have been released for this purpose, and the show is underway. As I said, everything was on a hair trigger, and this continues to be true. Now that funds have been released, the global settlements can happen (if not already done), and the RV can occur, and the Basel III protocols can be fully implemented.

Not bad, delayed, but not bad. They have been trying to get the rv done every single day, but for whatever reason, like bribing others in the food chain at wells fargo to throw a monkey wrench into the works, the RV keeps getting snookered every day.

They are running out of monkeys that can be bribed. And the word is getting out to all monkeys that their fate is sealed if they accept the bribe. They get arrested the next day or shortly thereafter. Idiot monkeys, but I guess greed is still a powerful motivating force.

Is the RV a scam? LOL. Ya right, sure it is. That’s why untold trillions of Dinar [Trillions??? Really?? and that big a number is not a bit suspect from tiny Iraq????] are changing hands, why monkeys get arrested, and the governments are purchasing – because it’s a scam. [There is a concept of markets on Walls Street called the "greater fool" buyer] Good call. Now who said this was a scam again? which version of crystal ball were they looking into?

Again, there are questions in respect of the prosperity programs. These are meant for the fulfillment of the divine plan[He really said that??? Wow!!! I Love ZAP's honesty!!! There you have it in black and white!!!] where our humanity gets a shot at breathing again. [loosen those shackles just a wee bit there buddy...your wrists were starting to chafe...all better now?] Many subscribed to it and waited. and waited. Meanwhile, the cabal was chewing away at the fabric of our financial infrastructure meaning to destroy any and all hope, and divide the populations into the have and have nots on a systematic global scale. They came close. [Oh team contrast is persistent!]

As is the case with many stories these days, I cannot prove the legitimacy of this story. However, I will say, if it were true I would not be in the least bit surprised. I personally believe Obama is a puppet (as all Presidents are) being controlled by many levels of power above the presidency. This assumption has yet to be proven, yet I feel the stage is now being set for a grand revealing. Side Note: I will not lose any sleep if I am wrong ;) ~BK

<National Report> Late this afternoon White House insiders leaked information stating the president has suffered a mental breakdown and is presently resting and under a doctors care. This afternoon the National Report received three calls on our nationwide hot tip line (206) 222-1975. Two of the three callers are insiders known to the National Report to be reliable confidential informants.

The caller unknown to this publication is a low level employee who could only state that there was some kind of a medical emergency involving President Obama. The other two callers known to us are both support personnel within the Obama administration. Both confirmed this week has been a political disaster for the president and this has taken a tremendous toll on him.

Russian President Vladimir Putin Has Recently Shamed Obama on the World Stage

Earlier this week Russian President Vladimir Putin derailed the president’s plan to bomb Syria and bury the U.S. in another war the people want nothing to do with and can ill afford to pay for. Putin negotiated a deal with Syria for control over its chemical weapons providing a peaceful resolution to a certain US attack. With the world watching Obama was forced to stand down causing him a great deal of shame and public embarrassment.

Before Putin extended the olive branch of diplomacy to resolve the Syrian crisis, he also agreed to grant asylum to Edward Snowden, the man who stole US secret documents that exposed the NSA secret program already underway and approved by President Obama to spy on all US citizens. Not only did Snowden expose the top secret NSA program to the world, he escaped US authorities in China and arrived in Russia where he repeatedly bitch-slapped the president by releasing more US secrets to the media.

Safely in the arms of Mother Russia Snowden, showed the world people how helpless and weak the Obama administration is at being utter failures at diplomacy, tact and statesmanship. While Putin and Obama were engaged in “negotiations” over Snowden’s extradition, Snowden and Putin were engaged in conversation about Snowden’s defecting to Russia.

Whistle-blower Edward Snowden Exposed Obama-NSA scandal

In one of the most crippling moments of President Obama’s tenure Putin cut a deal with Snowden for asylum giving the Russian president tons of other US secrets. Edward Snowden now lives safely beyond the reach of Obama’s dirty scandal ridden administration who would’ve imprisoned or killed Snowden without a trial clearly disregarding all of Snowden’s civil liberties and denying him the opportunity to explain his actions before a court of law who would determine Snowden’s fate… not Obama. Then Putin told Obama ‘no’ on Snowden’s extradition completely shaming the president in front of the world.

In the past couple weeks the big winners on the world stage have been Syria, Russia, Snowden and Putin; all at the expense of America’s impotent and fraudulent president.

Remember what Obama “sold” the American people in his 2008 bid for the presidency? Obama the “agent of revolution” guaranteed “change” instead he lied to everyone by promising the “most transparent” government – “no special interest” – “a new way of doing business” – “most honest” – “most righteous” – “the new beginning” – then there was the abortion of Obama’s world tour… what a national mortification. And today how many of these promises has the president kept?

President Obama – Epic Failure Shames America

Then today’s Gallup poll results have been absolutely devastating for the president and the Democratic party. Obama’s approval rating dropped to the lowest in presidential history, and support from the Democratic Party plummeted more than 25% from this time last year.

Our sources confirm late this afternoon a doctor was summoned to the oval office and remained with the president for about a half-hour. When the doctor emerged he was heard to say the president needed rest and would be sedated once he was moved to his bed. The White House has remained silent and has yet to make a statement publicly.

This summer has been an odd time. Amazing new insights, and the impatience with with what we still have to endure in this world. People suffer. Bills aren't getting paid. That can't be denied. Can't we get this over with already? What the fuck...another chemtrail?...another war?...another "deranged" killer shooting random people? False flags, black flags, pirate flags, fringe flags and parade flags. Maybe we should just ban flags altogether? Guns don't kill, flags do! They separate! Flags separate people one from another. This country loves flags and hates fags. But even they have a flag! TWEET!!!! EVERYONE OUT OF THE POOL!!! Can you hear yourselves?

Frustration is being directed at those are making changes rather than the ones who cause the suffering. That's disbelieving you have the power to change your reality, when you get angry at those working to change theirs.

There's Brinkmanship in economic, political and covert circles. The ones who insist nothing has changed are working overtime to make sure it doesn't. The chess pieces in various realms trade moves. Agents infiltrate, tell fibs, sow discord, draw followers to economic, spiritual and political factions. Same old template, polarize, divide, conquer. Pick your dogma, each has one. "Believe in me and I will set you free! And by the way, I read all your akashic records!" How about believe in yourself and find the answers within? Its all there you know!

I was reading David Wilcock's blog this week and something just jumped out at me. Its what prompted me to write this article. I don't think David even realized what he wrote. But its been popping up in my vision everywhere since like a crazed bouncing jack-in-the-box. I love David Wilcock, but ever since he got spooked by a purported death threat (and what blogger in this field hasn't had those?) he's been off his game. I loved the Source Field Investigation book! Pure genius! Financial Tyranny was well researched, except for the part on primary market banking... but this jumped out at me...

"LOVE WITH BOUNDARIES"....WHAT THE FUCK DAVID? DIDN'T YOU READ THE LAW OF ONE SERIES?

Pope Warns Church Must Find Balance or Fall 'Like House of Cards'
September 19, 2013Source

BIG changes are in the air...can you smell it yet? From my vantage point it doesn't matter whether the Pope and the Vatican are sincere. Their public actions in and amongst themselves since the Pope changeover are unprecedented and represent a major shift happening now and forthcoming exponentially. ~BK

Pope Francis said the Catholic Church should not allow its bans on gay marriage, abortion and contraception to dominate its teachings, but must be a more welcoming Church where priests are understanding pastors and not cold, dogmatic bureaucrats.

In a dramatically blunt interview with Civilta Cattolica, the Italian Jesuit monthly, Francis said the Church had locked itself up in "small things, in small-minded rules". It must find a new balance between upholding rules and demonstrating mercy, "otherwise even the moral edifice of the Church is likely to fall like a house of cards..."

Francis, the first non-European pope in 1,300 years and the first from Latin America, did not hold out the prospect of any changes soon to such moral teachings.

In the long interview with the magazine's director, Jesuit Father Antonio Spadaro, he also said he envisioned a greater role for women in the 1.2 billion member Church but suggested it would not include a change in the current ban on a female priesthood.

In an remarkable change from his predecessor Benedict, who said homosexuality was an intrinsic disorder, Francis said that when homosexuals told him they were always condemned by the Church and felt "socially wounded", he told them "the Church does not want to do this".

He re-stated his comments first made on the plane returning from Brazil in July that he was not in a position to judge gays who are of good will and in search of God.

In the interview released on Thursday, he added: "By saying this, I said what the catechism says. Religion has the right to express its opinion in the service of the people, but God in creation has set us free: it is not possible to interfere spiritually in the life of a person."

CHURCH SHOULD BE "A FIELD HOSPITAL"

The Church, he said, should see itself as "a field hospital after a battle" and try to heal the larger wounds of society and not be "obsessed with the transmission of a disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently."

John Gehring, Catholic program director at Faith in Public Life, a liberal advocacy group in the United States, said:

"This pope is rescuing the church from those who think that condemning gay people and opposing contraception define what it means to be a real Catholic.

"Francis is putting a message of mercy, justice and humility back at the center of the church's mission. It's a remarkable and refreshing change."

The interview of some 12,000 words took place over three sessions in August in his simple quarters in the Vatican and was released on Thursday simultaneously in translations by Jesuit journals around the world.

"We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods. This is not possible. I have not spoken much about these things, and I was reprimanded for that," he said.

"But when we speak about these issues, we have to talk about them in a context. The teaching of the Church, for that matter, is clear and I am a son of the Church, but it is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time," he said.

Speaking specifically of homosexuals, he said:

"We must always consider the person. Here we enter into the mystery of the human being. In life, God accompanies persons, and we must accompany them, starting from their situation. It is necessary to accompany them with mercy. When that happens, the Holy Spirit inspires the priest to say the right thing," he said.

The Catholic Church teaches that homosexual tendencies are not sinful but homosexual acts are.

But in several parts of the interview, which took place in his simple quarters in a Vatican guest house where he has lived since his election instead of the spacious papal apartments, he stressed the need for mercy and understanding by priests.

"The confessional is not a torture chamber, but the place in which the Lord's mercy motivates us to do better," he said.

The pope also spoke about the role of women in the Church, saying their "deep questions must be addressed".

"We must therefore investigate further the role of women in the Church. We have to work harder to develop a profound theology of the woman. Only by making this step will it be possible to better reflect on their function within the Church," he said.

He hinted that he was open to giving women greater decision-making roles in the Church.

"The feminine genius is needed wherever we make important decisions. The challenge today is this: to think about the specific place of women also in those places where the authority of the Church is exercised for various areas of the Church," he said.

The True Size of the Shadow Banking System Revealed (Spoiler: Humongous)

The shadow banking system is vastly bigger than regulators had thought, say econophysicistswho have developed a powerful new way to measure its hidden impact

In most parts of the world, the banking system is closely regulated and monitored by central banks and other government agencies. That’s just as it should be, you might think.

But banks have a way round this kind of regulation. For the last decade or so, it has become common practice for banks to do business in ways that don’t show up on conventional balance sheets. Before the 2008 financial crisis, for example, many investment banks financed mortgages in this way. To all intents and purposes, these transactions are invisible to regulators.

This so-called shadow banking system is huge and important. Indeed, many economists blame activities that took place in the shadow banking system for the 2008 crash.

But the size of the system is hard to measure because of its hidden and impenetrable nature. But today, Davide Fiaschi , an economist at the University of Pisa in Italy, and a couple of pals reveal a powerful and simple way of determining the size of the shadow banking system.

Their conclusions are revealing. They say that the shadow banking system is vastly bigger than anyone had imagined before. And although its size dropped dramatically after the financial crisis in 2008, it has since grown dramatically and is today significantly bigger than it was even then.

The White House told federal agencies on Tuesday to prepare for a government shutdown.

President Obama's budget director Sylvia Matthews Burwell in a memo to agencies said they should set their plans in case Congress fails to pass a funding measure by the end of the month. The government would shut down Oct. 1 without action by Congress.

While there is time for Congress to act, Burwell wrote that "prudent management" requires agencies to prepare for a shutdown.

Only activities that are required by law would be allowed to continue to function during a shutdown, the memo states. A similar memo was released twice in 2011 amid potential shutdowns.

Conservative Republicans in the House and Senate are demanding that any government funding bill include language defunding ObamaCare and have said they will oppose a funding measure that doesn't include the ObamaCare defunding language.

Since Senate Democrats and President Obama are not expected to accept such language, the bill would likely lead to a government shutdown Oct. 1.

GOP leaders are expected to discuss various options for moving forward at a conference meeting Wednesday. Leaders appear to be leaning toward bringing a bill to the floor that would include language defunding ObamaCare.

The last government shutdown came in 1996. Washington came close to shutting down several times in 2011 amid budget fights.

Russia will provide the UN Security Council with data proving that the chemical weapons near Damascus were used by the opposition, Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said. The materials were handed to Russia by the Syrian government of Bashar Assad.

“We have plenty of reports on chemical weapons use, which indicate that the opposition regularly resorts to provocations in order to trigger strikes and intervention against Syria,” Lavrov said. “There’s a lot of data. It’s widely available on the Internet. This data is presented in the report, which our experts put together in association with the use of chemical weapons in Aleppo in March this year. There’s also plenty of data on the incidents that occurred in August in Ghouta, near Damascus.”

“All of this will be considered in the Security Council, together with a report, which was submitted by UN experts, confirming that chemical weapons were used,” he added.

The minister stressed that “it’s yet to be established,” which side in the Syrian conflict – opposition or government – is responsible for the use of chemical weapons.

The Russian FM said that the Syrian authorities handed the data to Russia’s deputy foreign minister, Sergey Ryabkov, who is currently on a visit in Damascus.

“I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m sure that the experts are going to work with it and, of course, we’ll provide it to the security council,” he added.

‘No Russian chemical weapons in Syria’ – Kremlin

Neither Russia, nor the USSR has ever supplied chemical weapons to any other foreign state, Sergey Ivanov, the head of the Kremlin’s administration, stressed.

"Nobody disputes the fact that the Soviet Union has never shipped warheads armed with sarin to Syria or any other country,” the official is cited as saying by Interfax-Ukraina news agency.

The statement comes after the report by the UN experts in Syria claimed that a rocket found on the site of the August 21 chemical attack near Damascus had writings in Cyrillic on it.

According to Ivanov, the ammunition used in the chemical attack in Ghouta, near the Syrian capital was most likely “backyard produced.”

Previously, US Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, said that there’s plenty of chemical arms in the Syria, which was supplied to the country by the Russians.

The US and its allies blame Assad forces for using sarin gas against civilians in a chemical attack near the Syrian capital, Damascus, on August 21.

Despite the Syrian government denying the accusations and no proof of its guilt being presented by Washington, Obama announced that there would be “limited military” action against Assad because the use of chemical weapons can’t be tolerated.

But the US strikes were put on hold after a Russian proposal to hand the Syrian chemical weapons arsenal to international inspectors for destruction, a plan that received the full backing of Assad’s government.

The civil war, in which the Syrian government is fighting what it calls Western-backed Islamist militants, has been raging in the Arab country since March 2011, and has claimed over 100,000 lives, according to UN estimates.

This video was sent to me by Bob earlier and has since been shared on Facebook by a friend of mine. So, I'm inclined to help get this out there, despite not being able to prove the legitimacy of this guy's claim. I've heard many stories in the past of Michael Jackson being murdered due to his gung ho approach to exposing corruption, but this is the first time I've heard it from a whistle blower. Discernment suggested. ~BK

This video is perfect for anyone who wants a better understanding of all the various ways banks "provide funds." This proves that it doesn't have to be through "lending money." This video was produced in Australia, but I'm fairly certain all the same fundamentals apply for the Corporations Act of 2001 for the U.S. Scott lays down a great opportunity for going your bank to have a discussion with the manager, to test their knowledge of their own banking practices. Nice work Scott! ~BK

Good data in this piece by David as usual. However, he still seems to be sold on the whole "mass arrest" scenario, which I'm not so convinced on these days. ~BK

A radio show from Friday the 13th (interestingly enough) features David Wilcock discussing the cycles of history, and why the collapse and defeat of the negative agenda is utterly inevitable. It is a law of nature -- like any other.

SO MUCH IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW

Internet access is very restricted at the place I'm staying in Canada. They advertise it as "not high-speed," but more to the point, it's often "not at all!"

I figured a short update was better than none. I have been doing a lot of healing here, and feel very inspired to write -- as long as I don't lose it along the way.

I wouldn't dare try to write anything large at this point, because with web-based editing, it's bound to get deleted while in development -- in the midst of such bad reception.

I've taken lots of pictures of the local scenery, and will upload more of it as time goes on. In the meantime, that's probably not what you came here for!

WE ARE BUILDING UP TO SOMETHING VERY SIGNIFICANT Major geopolitical events are happening at an incredible speed. It is becoming increasingly obvious that we are building up to something very significant.

When you consider the possibility that classified technology exists that can boldly manipulate the weather, causing freak problems, the current chaos takes on an even deeper level of potential significance.

Yosemite wildfires. Boulder flash floods. Everything is too hot or too cold. There's either too much water or nowhere near enough.

Some of this is definitely a natural effect. However, there is a real possibility that technologies exist that could be enhancing these problems as well. For now.

The whole negative-elite objective right now seems to be: "DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO DISTRACT THEM FROM THE NSA DISCLOSURES."

Syria clearly appeared to be another desperate attempt to sway the headlines away from the ever-increasing NSA disclosures.

It did not work.

WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH

The public has finally had enough of sudden, knee-jerk responses to questionable atrocities -- which, in turn, get us embroiled in long-term, unwinnable wars.

Wars generate very significant profits. The same "usual suspects" need these wars. It's their number-one way to raise the money they desperately need to maintain control.

Military strikes kill innocent people. Lives are being lost as these geopolitical chess games play themselves out.

A gas attack is a horrible thing. So is having your body blown apart from an attack with explosives.

To respond to violence by instantly creating more violence, rather than pursuing peaceful means first, is the peak of insanity.

Thankfully, the public saw this as Iraq 2.0, which it was -- and nobody bought into it.

Even the manipulated polls couldn't get better than a 10-percent approval rating.

CHECKMATE

Kerry's epic mis-step gave Putin an opportunity to propose a full elimination of the CW arsenal in Syria -- and it worked.

If I had actually thought Syria was going to turn into a war, I would have written about it much sooner.

All along, I never felt that this one was going to happen.

"LIKE ANOTHER MASS SHOOTING..."

Last night, I drove to a place where I could use my phone, and talked to one of my top insiders for over an hour.

This is the same insider who recently said "Every time the Ponzi scheme known as the Federal Reserve Note is about to collapse, they need another mass catastrophe to prop it back up again."

Last night I said, "Now that Syria fell through, they're going to have to cook up something else to try to distract the headlines and create fear and trauma -- like another mass shooting."

As we approach the 100 year anniversary of the creation of the Federal Reserve, it is absolutely imperative that we get the American people to understand that the Fed is at the very heart of our economic problems. It is a system of money that was created by the bankers and that operates for the benefit of the bankers.

The American people like to think that we have a "democratic system", but there is nothing "democratic" about the Federal Reserve. Unelected, unaccountable central planners from a private central bank run our financial system and manage our economy. There is a reason why financial markets respond with a yawn when Barack Obama says something about the economy, but they swing wildly whenever Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke opens his mouth.

The Federal Reserve has far more power over the U.S. economy than anyone else does by a huge margin. The Fed is the biggest Ponzi scheme in the history of the world, and if the American people truly understood how it really works, they would be screaming for it to be abolished immediately. The following are 25 fast facts about the Federal Reserve that everyone should know...

#2 The United States never had a persistent, ongoing problem with inflation until the Federal Reserve was created. In the century before the Federal Reserve was created, the average annual rate of inflation was about half a percent. In the century since the Federal Reserve was created, the average annual rate of inflation has been about 3.5 percent, and it would be even higher than that if the inflation numbers were not being so grossly manipulated.

#3 Even using the official numbers, the value of the U.S. dollar has declined by more than 95 percent since the Federal Reserve was created nearly 100 years ago.

#4 The secret November 1910 gathering at Jekyll Island, Georgia during which the plan for the Federal Reserve was hatched was attended by U.S. Senator Nelson W. Aldrich, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Department A.P. Andrews and a whole host of representatives from the upper crust of the Wall Street banking establishment.

#6 The following comes directly from the Fed's official mission statement: "To provide the nation with a safer, more flexible, and more stable monetary and financial system. Over the years, its role in banking and the economy has expanded."

#7 It was not an accident that a permanent income tax was also introduced the same year when the Federal Reserve system was established. The whole idea was to transfer wealth from our pockets to the federal government and from the federal government to the bankers.

#8 Within 20 years of the creation of the Federal Reserve, the U.S. economy was plunged into the Great Depression.

#9 If you can believe it, there have been 10 different economic recessions since 1950. The Federal Reserve created the "dotcom bubble", the Federal Reserve created the "housing bubble" and now it has created the largest bond bubble in the history of the planet.

#10 According to an official government report, the Federal Reserve made 16.1 trillion dollars in secret loans to the big banks during the last financial crisis. The following is a list of loan recipients that was taken directly from page 131 of the report...

#11 The Federal Reserve also paid those big banks $659.4 million in fees to help "administer" those secret loans.

#12 The Federal Reserve has created approximately 2.75 trillion dollars out of thin air and injected it into the financial system over the past five years. This has allowed the stock market to soar to unprecedented heights, but it has also caused our financial system to become extremely unstable.

#13 We were told that the purpose of quantitative easing is to help "stimulate the economy", but today the Federal Reserve is actually paying the big banks not to lend out 1.8 trillion dollars in "excess reserves" that they have parked at the Fed.

#14 Quantitative easing overwhelming benefits those that own stocks and other financial investments. In other words, quantitative easing overwhelmingly favors the very wealthy. Even Barack Obama has admitted that 95 percent of the income gains since he has been president have gone to the top one percent of income earners.

#15 The gap between the top one percent and the rest of the country is now the greatest that it has been since the 1920s.

#16 The Federal Reserve has argued vehemently in federal court that it is "not an agency" of the federal government and therefore not subject to the Freedom of Information Act.

#19 The Federal Reserve system greatly favors the biggest banks. Back in 1970, the five largest U.S. banks held 17 percent of all U.S. banking industry assets. Today, the five largest U.S. banks hold 52 percent of all U.S. banking industry assets.

#21 The Federal Reserve was designed to be a perpetual debt machine. The bankers that designed it intended to trap the U.S. government in a perpetual debt spiral from which it could never possibly escape. Since the Federal Reserve was established nearly 100 years ago, the U.S. national debt has gotten more than 5000 times larger.

#23 If the average rate of interest on U.S. government debt rises to just 6 percent (and it has been much higher than that in the past), we will be paying out more than a trillion dollars a year just in interest on the national debt.

#24 According to Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. Congress is the one that is supposed to have the authority to "coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures". So exactly why is the Federal Reserve doing it?

#25 There are plenty of possible alternative financial systems, but at this point all 187 nations that belong to the IMF have a central bank. Are we supposed to believe that this is just some sort of a bizarre coincidence?

Pope’s meets with the father of liberation theology; Vatican media praises the Peruvian priest

Pope Francis' September 11 meeting with Dominican Father Gustavo Gutierrez was an informal one, held in the in the pope's residence, the Domus Sanctae Marthae, and not listed on his official schedule., reports the Catholic News Service. However the news that Pope Francis had received the 85-year old Peruvian priest, who is widely considered the father of liberation theology, has excited interest far beyond the Vatican's walls.

The prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of
the Faith, Archbishop Gerhard L. Muller is a supporter
of Gutierrez.

During the 1990s, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith conducted a lengthy critical review of Father Gutierrez's work, and required him to write and rewrite articles clarifying some of his theological and pastoral points.

But within a single week in early September 2013, the Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, published an interview with Father Gutierrez, an article by the theologian himself, and two articles praising his work -- one of them by the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Archbishop Gerhard L. Muller.

Following years of Vatican criticism of liberation theology under John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI, these events might seem to indicate a reversal of policy under Pope Francis. It would be more accurate to say they represent the fruit of a long and painful process, through which the church has clarified the nature of its commitment to the world's poor today.

Have been out of town for the last few days for a wedding and visiting my 11 day old niece :)....so copying this over from AK and RTS now. ~BKNote: Added two missing images in the bottom of the post. What can I say it was early in the morning... -Bill

Universal Value ExchangeMany people have asked about the documents that Heather spoke about two months ago, specifically the documents that will outline the current financial system and how it works vs the "New" financial system (ie: the Universal Value Exchange System) and I Value. Over the course of the past couple of months more and more information, intel, and absolute data has become available on this. Each step of the process of has become very clear- to the point of extreme clarity- and as each piece of the puzzle makes itself visible the documents are edited and changed to reflect that information.Several months ago the following patent was made visible- and we're pretty sure it was back-dated to cover their asses. Since then a huge amount of data has been released. Here's the thing: Even with all the shenanigans that are constantly going on within the corporate governments, the world of finance, industries like big pharma and big oil, etc.... they HAVE to be transparent in some way, shape or form. They MUST make it known and available to the public to know what they are doing. Of course, they don't actually want you to KNOW what they are doing, so these pieces of information and data are hidden in ways that are not apparent, with no fanfare or sign posts to direct you to the information, and the information is many times hidden behind elusive language and wording that is not easily understood. So finding the information takes a lot of digging in places like the UCC, the Patent offices, various government agencies, etc.... Not easy to say the least. The other place that you can find them outing various information they need to make public is, believe it or not, Wikipedia! They do an amazing job of hiding in plain sight pieces of the information puzzle in such a way that the vast majority of the public wouldn't connect any dots at all..... unless you happen to know what dots to look for ;>)Today I am posting the patent that has been put forward by VISA (yes, the credit card company) for the "Universal Value Exchange"..... sounds familiar, eh?....... I do love it when they make it absolutely transparent and blatantly show what it is that they are planning. The "Universal Value Exchange"...... "Universal" is pretty damn straight up in your face and crystal clear. The words that I LOVE though are "VALUE" and "EXCHANGE"... 'cause you know.... we've been talking about exchanging Value all year!! I have to wonder if they've thought about just how much information they've released just with the name of their new system alone, eh?>Below is the original patent filing. Under that is a blow up of the little tiny diagram they have in the document- and THIS is the most enlightening part of the whole document to me as I'm a very visually oriented person. So, start with looking through the patent for the Universal Value Exchange, then we'll take a good look at the diagram and I'll illuminate some very important points in the diagram. ....Link to original patent: http://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsfdocId=WO2012097108&recNum=85&maxRec=77092&office=&prevFilter=&sortOption=&queryString=solar&tab=PCT+Biblio

The diagram above here is taken directly from the Patent filed with the WIPO HERE . For the sake of clarity and the fact that I'm a bit of a neat freak when it comes to stuff like this, I've cleaned up the diagram- edited my own nice neat headings etc.... as you can see that the original doesn't size up very well from the document.The next diagram - and all the ones that follow in this article, were created by myself to give a visual image of my opinions of what these represent and what is currently happening.

This diagram above is my representation of the Current Financial System and is based on the diagram in the patent for the UVE. Take a close look between the two diagrams- of the Universal Value Exchange and of the Current Financial System. The first thing I want to point out- as it's the most major piece of the puzzle is that the UVE diagram has arrows from the man figure- one to the bank and one to the exchange (and we'll get into more details of exactly what this "exchange" is in a bit) and the word written below that arrow is "Optional". Therein lies one of the major differences between the current system- which you notice doesn't have anything "optional" anywhere- and the UVE system:If you are awake and aware, and if you KNOW the system, and if you KNOW your rights, and if you KNOW what to say and do, and if you can make your way through the bureaucracy.... they HAVE to allow you the choice. To deal with the new system or not to deal with the new system.... that is the question.The dotted line boxes around the Exchange and Bank squares are also an indication of change, because by using the dotted line, they are giving you a choice.Looking and the diagram of the Current Financial System you can see that there are no options, no choices to be made..... you are dealing with a closed system. The pieces that are in grey are the parts that they don't tell you about, ie: that YOU are the Value, and that the controller of the Currently Financial System is STILL the Universal Value Exchange system!!!! They just dropped out the upper box into the lower box in the middle of the UVE so that you'd think that it's a "New" financial system!! Same girl, Different party dress, to quote Heather, lol.Here is my "interpretation" of the patents UVE diagram.... with the missing component drawn in, in grey:They don't tell you that YOU are the VALUE- which of course is the really big biggie- and they don't tell you about where your value is going, ie: who the real "controllers" are, and where exactly they are located!!!I don't know about you, but I have a serious problem with both of these points.

Don't you find the word "Merchant" and interesting choice of words?So if assigning your Value over to the banks and exchange traded funds (not that they actually tell you about them either) is an "Option", does that mean that you can deal directly with the Universal Value Exchange Controller?

How about those guys really running the show way up there..... can you deal directly with them?

Can we skip over all the middlemen and the brokers and the bankers and the "Controllers" and just deal directly with User 1 01b?

Hmmmmmm. Wait! That sounds familiar! Isn't that called.........

So for tonight, I will leave you with the homework of reading all this very interesting patent information on the "Universal Value Exchange", and I will ask you to think about these two questions, and come up with the answer that resonates with YOU.Would you rather exchange your Value within THIS system:

.... Or would you rather exchange your value this way:

OH! And by the way, you might find this definition interesting in light of everything we've been discussing for the past 9 months:

mer·chantˈmərCHənt/nounnoun: merchant; plural noun: merchants1.a person or company involved in wholesale trade, esp. one dealing with foreign countries or supplying merchandise to a particular trade.
